Gameplay

Panzer Corps is a turn-based strategic wargame played on a hex grid.[4] It covers World War II from the German perspective.[4]

Release

Before Panzer Corps, lead designer Alex Shargin made a Panzer General fan remake, Panzer General Forever.[5] Panzer Corps was announced on December 2, 2010. It was described as similar to Panzer General series.[6] An iPad version was scheluded for third quarter of 2012 but it was delayed to December 2013.[7][3] Panzer Corps Gold was released on October 6, 2016. It includes the main game and 17 expansion packs.[8] A macOS port was released on May 4, 2017.[9]

Reception

Panzer Corps received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[10] Many compared the game to the Panzer General series.

Daniel Shannon of GameSpot summarized: "Panzer Corps is a great turn-based strategic wargame that captures Panzer General's deep and involving classic gameplay."[4]

Tim Stone of PC Gamer said that the only negative aspect of the game was the steep price since there was "free fan-made versions of Panzer General 2 available".[5]

Bodo Naser of 4Players gave a score 84 out of 100 to the Afrika Korps expansion and said it's "[a] very solid and very entertaining standalone add-on with a new theatre and well proven tactical challenges.[17][18]

Luke Plunkett of Kotaku called the game "one of the best strategy games you can get on the PC" in 2014.[19]
